Has anyone who uses KDE's "activities" noticed that since the upgrade of KDE from 4.10.5 to 4.11 the activities feature no longer functions correctly?
Prior to the upgrade I often had 5 or more activities available but now I can have no more than 2 activities without problems arising. Creating any more than 2 activities soon results in the stopped symbol appearing on some of the activity icons and the config wrench being replaced with a delete button. As I understand it this is usually caused by a lack of resources but surely if there were enough resources for 4 to 5 activities with KDE4.10.5 there should be enough with KDE4.11.
Also if an application is opened in a 3rd activity that application appears in all activities. This destroys the whole concept of separate activities.
I hesitate to raise a bug with KDE as my KDE4.11 is a siduction version provided by santa.
Also I'm aware that not many users actually use KDE's activities and therefore bugs can go unnoticed but I need them.

I'm using 3 activities each one with its own set of windows and I don't have this problem. Recheck with 4.11.1, and if you still have the problem you can report it to bugs.kde.org, (as long as you think the bug report would be helpful for the plasma developers to fix it).
Today's du which included kde-runtime, kde-runtime-data and kdebase-runtime seems to have cured my activity problems.
